I am also looking for someway to rotate my affiliates on my site (like banners) without having to download the images onto my server (some change so often!).
Anyway.. what I have done as workaround is as follows:
1. Create a Section/Category called affiliates. You can break it down as complex as you want but I only broke mine down into "right" and "bottom" representing the places I want to put them.
2. COPY your newsflash module and point it to one of your affiliate categories.
3. Populate the category with content. I found the publishing start and end is great for those affiliates that have "DO NOT POST BEFORE/AFTER" warnings.
Now management is a different story. I have some "strays" but mostly I use Linkshare. Linkshare manages my affiliates for me and pays me directly. It also has reports and such. Check it out for yourself (not trying to advertise for it).
If someone has a better/easier way, PLEASE let me know. I am not having too many problems managing things now but I only have 12 affiliates at the moment. It might get a bit hairy down the road!
